HOLDER FOR LIQUID SOAP- Specification of Letters .Patent Patented March 12, 1907.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ELLwooD LEE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing in Conshohocken, inthe county of Montgomery, in the State of Pennsylvania,

vhave invented an Improved Holder for The d'evice is mounted in any suitable way i on a side .wall or other support, and in the drawing I have indicated it as supported by a bracket B, secured at b'to one of the usual upright marble slabs or other wall-piece A. The outer end of this bracket B has a screwthreaded ring B to receive the screw-threaded neck d of-a receiver D. To the lower end of this neck of the receiver is secured, as by threading, a cap or stopperE,with a dischargeoutlet closed by a suitable valve or cock F.

The receiver D is contracted at the neck d, but has a widened body part above, constituting an upper chamber adapted to hold liquid, or, in other words, it is somewhat in the shape of a bottle standing upside down, and

` it is open at its upper or widened end, so that an ordinary bottle containing liquid soap, for example, may be introduced upside down in the receiver D and be supported upon the shoulders d d. formed between the neck and body of the receiver, while the neck of the bottle will be received into the neck of the receiver. The liquid soap there running out into the neck of the receiver will forma seal with the neck of the bottle, as indicated in 'bottle into the receiver.

valve below, a little more will run out of the When the supply is exhausted, it can be readily, quickly, and simply renewed by replacing the empty bottle by a full one, after taking the cork out of the bottle, ofl course. On the other hand, should a user not care to recharge his receiver in the quick and simple way I have described, but desires to pour the liquid soap or other liquid into the receiver D, that may be done, and in such case the metal screw-cap E', Fig. 2, will thereupon be secured onto the threaded to e ofthe receiver to close it.

I c aim as my inventionl; The herein-described holder for dispensing liquid soap and the like, and consisting of` a receiver having a neck with a valved closure at its lower end, a widened body part at its upper end open at the top and intermediate shoulders adapted to receive and support a bottle upside down, the widened part above the shoulders constituting a chamber adapted to hold liquid.
